Welcome to my blog. I would like to create a place where I can share my love of crafts with you. I started paper crafting in August of 2011. I just had my one year anniversary. I love making cards, doing scrapbook pages, creating flowers, quilling and many other crafts. I found out about greeting cards when watching a Stamp TV video a few months later. I am hooked on card making now. Love everything about it. I hope that you will join me in my love of crafts.

WELCOME TO THE OCTOBER “GIVING THANKS” BLOG HOP!
Hi everyone!  Thanks for playing along in our October blog hop!  EXCITING NEWS!  The Blog Hop with Sean & Regina will now be featuring Gina K. Designs stamps only for our monthly blog hops starting this month!  Most everyone we know are busy getting ready for the Halloween fun coming up on the 31st.  We spooked it up for you in our last hop, so this month we want to celebrate November by “Giving Thanks” to all of our followers.  To some “giving thanks” is the traditional Thanksgiving holiday, but to others to “give thanks” is to show appreciation to all those great family and friends in our lives.  So, our hop this month is to show you how different we all give thanks.
The blog hop designers have been busy creating a card or cards that we hope will inspire you to create your fall themed “thanks” cards whether it be Thanksgiving, Give Thanks, Happy Harvest or a simple Thank You.  
OUR BLOG HOP SPONSOR!

Becky Oehlers is a member of the Gina K. Designs Illustrator Team! Becky’s style is really fun, crisp and clean.  They are used to make wonderful cards with just the right message or can be used to add some fun to your scrapbooking pages.  In addition, Becky is one of the best card designers and artists in the craft world.  Go to Becky’s blog to look at the great things she has been up to AND view the card samples she has created with her newest stamp set “Mistletoe Memories” that was released yesterday during the Stamp TV October Release Party.

<<< Here are the blog stops a long the way. Stop by Sean's next!!! 

This is my First Card:

I designed this card with the following
Gina K Pure Luxury Pattenr paper Sundance.
Gina K Pure luxury Card stock Sundance.
I used Gina K Pure luxury Heavy weight for flowers and leaves.  
I used Gina K Stamp sets Fall Foliage, and
Gina K. Stamp set A Year of Flowers by Melanie Muenchinger.
 I colored the flowers and leaves with Copic markers and 
cut them out and placed them on a Flourish.

 For my second card
I used Gina K pure luxury heavy weight card stock for my basket.
Gina K Stamp Sets Holiday Basket and Basket additions for my image. Both
were illustrated by Melanie Muenchinger. 
I used Gina K's Designer paper Casual Friday. I colored my image with 
Copic markers and added some Gina K ribbon.

 For my third card 
For this card I used Gina K Card stock Pure Luxury Ivory, Fresh Asparagus, and Chocolate Brown.
I used Gina K Stamp sets Farm Life by Theresa Momber and The Journey by Asela Hopkins.
I used Gina K paper pack Casual Friday.
I colored my image with Copic Markers.
